Advanced Style

Stumbled across this blog today and I absolutely love it. So often you see the same generic, pretty girl posting outfits and talking about their style, which is great, but I've always thought the older generation of women was seriously under-represented on the blogging front. Recently I've realised a lot of older women seem to find it particularly hard to pick clothes and express their own personal style like they did when they were younger. 


A prime example of this is my mum. She's always been into her fashion and has quite a hippie, colourful personal style, however more recently she's admitted to being quite scared of wearing as many colours and experimenting with different shapes and cuts as she used to do. Having spent the last week with her, I've managed to persuade her to try on different things and she's absolutely loved it. I think it's so important for older women to realise they can still experiment and try out new looks. You're never too old to redefine yourself.


Advanced Style is an amazing showcase of styles and a really positive, fun portrayal of an older generation of women. I for one hope I'm still that stylish when I'm their age! Here's a few of my favourite looks...

Annie and the Mannequins

Really loving this blog at the minute and the looks they're creating. I keep trawling through their ebay site for some vintage gems too. Definitely worth a visit. Here are a few of my favourite looks...
